Claisen Orthoester Rearrangement Reaction with Secondary and Tertiary Allylic Alcohols: Synthesis of 1, 2 Secochrysanthemates and Their Structural Analogues
Abstract A simple route is described for the synthesis of 1, 2 Seco-chrysanthemic acid and their structural analogues, employing Claisen orthoester rearrangement reaction in the key- step of synthesis. These acids have been prepared with a view to evaluating some of the esters prepared from them for possible insecticidal and other biological properties.
